DIVINATION PROFESSOR TO LEAVE POST FOLLOWING TWO DECADES OF SERVICE !
sybill trelawney, forty nine, one of two divination professors currently in the employ of hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, has chosen to move on at the end of this school year in pursuit of a destined dream ! “i was gazing into the crystal ball on the eve of the new year, and i saw my path so clearly, i would have been a fool to ignore it. hogwarts has been my most treasured home for over twenty years, but it’s time i return to what i was always most passionate about.” as the school board & parents of current students have discovered with the handing in of her notice, miss trelawney does not mean teaching ! we’re delighted to announce that the ownership of number 200B at the junction between diagon & knockturn alley - the alleged birthplace of famed seer cassandra trelawney, and the site of the fortune shop that cassandra’s great great grandchild notably shut down long before she began teaching at hogwarts school - has passed back to sybill trelawney. the building has been purchased outright by the soon to be ex professor following what we expect to have been years of saving, and we’ve been informed that it is every inch her intention to return to CASSANDRA’S dream, and reopen the once failed business !
